The Reading Cure
Yes, bibliotherapy is a real thing, and it’s been around for at least a hundred years. Take a listen to the CBC Ideas Episode, ‘Do Books Have the Power to Heal Us?’ to find out more about the science of reading for emotional health.
But we all know books are good for us. And it turns out reading in print is better is better for our eyes, learning, brain health, and sleep than reading on screens. In some cases, print even has a lower carbon footprint than eBooks, especially if you are buying books that already exist.
With that in mind, why not consider beautiful print editions — some rare and out-of-print, and some signed by authors — as thoughtful (and healthful) gifts for your loved ones? And while you’re at it, pick up some brain health for yourself with our Keep the Presses Rolling silent auction!
